  11. Accessing this media product through a mobile device denotes how technology is becoming miniaturized. • Louis Althusser “Interpellation” connotes how our, as prosumer’s in a WE-MEDIA culture, identify is “produced”. Debate: Does this product “erode normal social behaviour” (Noah Chomsky)

  12. ‘Technologies of Freedom’ – De Sola Poole (1977) stated that the media would encourage the “flowering of a hundred voices” Is this a good OR bad thing?

  13. “The prejudices of physical life are reflected – and sometimes reinforced – in the virtual life” Key term: Hyper reality

  14. Broadcast Media Perspective “Right now, Twitter cannot seem to stay out of the headlines - and not in a good way. Whether it's the arrest of a teenager who abused the diver Tom Daley, the suspension of the account of a journalist who attacked NBC's Olympics coverage, or the attempt to unmask the person behind a spoof account mocking a newspaper executive, Twitter does seem to be on the back foot”. Key term: “WE Media” and Citizen-Journalism

  15. GLOBALISATION • Bauman (1998) predicted that not everyone is included in the New Media ‘Global Village’ (McLuhan – 1967) as there are: • “Winners & Losers” • Those losers are “left behind”. WHO are the “losers” at the moment? WHO has been left behind?
